How long have people been waiting for Delicious Library 2? A long damn time. It was delayed. Delayed. Then delayed some more. Then it was Leopard only. Then Leopard was delayed. Then Leopard was released. Now it’s 3 months later and Delicious Library 2 still isn’t out.
But they’ve won an Apple Design Award. I find that interesting, considering it’s not even a product yet. It’s vaporware as far as I’m concerned. Until it’s out in the wild, it’s nothing.
The “new” features they are touting with DL2 have existed in the Pedias for a while. I made the switch a few months back when it was obvious DL2 wasn’t going to ship on time, if ever.
- Let’s see, it’s code new barcode scanning. Yippee. So do the Pedias.
- It has the ability to store items as files. The Pedias have had that for a while.
- HTML export. What? Really? Finally. It’s about time they caught up with the year 2000. The Pedias have this, and it’s simple to customize.
- It has .Mac integration. Great, for the 6 people who actually use both .Mac and DL2.
- Um, that’s about it
So, really, what’s “new” in DL2? Nothing! Nothing because it’s still not released. And nothing because the “new” features have existed in a competing product for quite some time. DL2 might be more lickable, but it’s less functional…and you still can’t buy it anyway.

There are times I have no freaking idea what your talking about.
This is one of those times.

LD, if you’re going to write this crap, set me up with a page and i’ll post reviews of oc bars, that’ll give you traffic at least. Seriously, hire a cute linguist to help you with the english - “dl2 might be more lickable” like a frozen minnesota stripper pole is lickable. any ugly linguist might help, too.

I’m pretty sure Apple didn’t give them that award for vaporware with photoshopped screenshots.
If you want to be pissy about it, there are a whole shit ton of applications that keep getting delayed “Leopard only” etc., if you can stop thinking about DL2 and want to start talking about things like Versions (from the Disco people) and TextMate.

Yeah, right. I’m going to buy four separate programs to catalog books, CDs, movies, and games when DL can do all of them in one application.

looks like you’ve pissed off Wil to the point where he’s virtually threatening you with a lawsuit. bummer.

All of your entries seem very amateur and ill-researched. Also, where am I able to purchase a copy of your software?

I’m amazed at your lack of common sense. This, combined with your forum post is just amazing…
I can’t believe that you would even insinuate that DL2 will be less functional, when you’ve never even tried it.
Development and testing takes time, even Apple pushed back Leopard. So get off your corrupt soapbox and get a brain.
